Professional Notes
Customization & Substitutions: To increase the healthy fat content and creaminess, substitute the Greek yogurt with half an avocado. For a vegan-friendly version, utilize coconut yogurt or almond butter as a thickening agent.
Storage: While smoothie bowls are best consumed immediately to preserve vitamin C and texture, you can store the base in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Stir well before adding toppings.
Freezing: You can freeze the blended base in silicone muffin liners. When ready to eat, pop out 2-3 discs, let them thaw slightly for 10 minutes, and re-blend with a splash of coconut water for an instant smoothie bowl.
